After I escape my father's dungeon, I head for the rooftops. My only place to blow off some steam. No one found me here. Not even Bebop and Rocksteady! But tonight, I didn't feel safe. I felt like someone, or SOMETHING, was watching me. I pull off my hood to get some wind in my brunette streaked red hair. Then, I heard someone move above me. I pull out my sais out of my tattered leather belt. Then, I saw some thing horrific........

I saw a giant, cloaked person wearing a backpack on one shoulder in front of me. He jumped down. I couldn't see his face or body, but the cloak silhouetted his muscular arms. He might be a challenge! "Who are you?!" I ask. I'll admit, I was a little scared. He didn't answer. He pulled out a pair of sais as well. But something was wrong with his hands. He only had three digits on each. "I want to help you," he finally said. "Why do you wanna help ME!?" I ask. I'm not the type of person who takes help from other people. "Because," he said. He pulled down his hood to expose his EMERALD GREEN FACE.

I stand in awe over the emerald green person. "What are you?!!!!!" I ask, screaming. He unbuttoned the cloak to expose his shell. "A TURTLE," he said. I blush hard. He was actually kinda hot...... But I shook off the feeling. "What is your name?" I ask the turtle. He threw the cloak and the backpack to the side. "The name's Raphael. You can call me Raph. And you?" he said. "The name's Emma Searls." I say. I used my mother's maiden name for the first time in YEARS! "That's a beautiful name," he said. "Let's hope you can FIGHT!" he said, getting a ready position. "Are you FLIRTING with me?!" I ask, still blushing. "Maybe....." he said. I got in a ready position. "On the count of three, we'll start," he said. "One..."

"THREE!!!!" I yell as I charge. Our weapons collide as the fight begins. He was tough. We fought for TWO HOURS! He held me back as our swords were locked together. I tried to sweep his feet, but he cut my face as I tried. I fell to the ground. I saw blood pour down like a mini red waterfall on my face. I got up. "You okay?! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to HURT you!" he said. His voice echoed sweetly in my head. He actually MEANT the apology. I felt light headed as blood kept pouring down my pale, cold face, and I passed out.

"Emma! You okay?!" I hear Raph say as I wake up. He had sewn up my wound on my leg, and patched up the wound on my face. "Yeah, I'm, fine." I say. I try to get up, but I fall when I was ALL THE WAY UP! Raphael caught me in his arms as I fell. We look into each other's eyes. The shade of his olive green eyes hypnotized me. "You're even more beautiful up close," he said as he pushed a lock of my hair behind my ear. I blush. "You're lying!" I say, trying not to express that I like him. "I mean it with all my heart," he said. The feeling took over us as we placed our lips on each other's. We were in love....
